Bitcoin Forum

Many bounty hunters are still promoting worse projects that have worse Whitepaper and teams with no past experience of how cryptocurrency works ,what makes a team pro?its their past history of achievements with other projects or companies but I'm still surprised that people are promoting very very worse projects on here ,the last one I checked hours ago has no team but its been run by one person or two ,no office address and the Whitepaper is not making sense at all and its like a copycat project but guess what? The bounty spreadsheet is already full of hunters.

I think the problems most bounty hunters are facing is entirely their faults ,bounty hunters are responsible for their end results because many never learn to read or do thorough research and later they will start complaining about time wasted of bounties.

It's a lesson everyone should just learn...that it wouldn't speak well of us not to make good inquiries about what we want to do before embarking on it. Theres no reason for a futile assignment.  Its always good to make inquiries before starting d reading the bounty spreadsheet will do no harm. Let's just take the pain to do so...instead of coming down with disappointment most times

Actually yes many of bounty hunters aggressively joining which their infront! they are just attracted over tokens  above-cited fake values! and result almost all bounty hunters join many of worst bounty related programs!

Yes that's true, we have seen many bounty hunters that keep promoting a project that is a potential scam and ignores the warning in the scam sections, and some of them never bother to look at the scam section to look if the project that they are promoting had a complaint attach to it.

I doubt this suggestion will be done by bounters since they use a lot of alt account (maybe) to take part with bounty campaign.

I'm pretty sure if bounty hunters just uses one account to takes bounty campaign then they will take a lot of way to know more about the project itself before he takes part with it.

But if they have a lot of alt account they will choose bounty campaign randomly, because they have a thought if the project end up with scam they still have a chance to another alt account that choose another projects.

To be honest, most of them don't know much English, I'm wondered how the hell they knew about the bounty process, who introduced them.
Because of their illiteracy, some investors are also getting scammed since they promote every project.

sometimes I do research on the Bounty campaign but still I can't find a campaign that definitely pays the participants this is a disappointing thing.

I think that only those bounty hunters who work through some bots and bounty farms enter such obvious scam projects. real hunters don't waste their time

That's what normally hunters do. As long as it looks good, they don't even bother to look at those sections or even try to search what is going on those projects.
Once they caught up with scams and then they would say "OMG, IT"S A SCAM PROJECTS. PLEASE DON'T INVEST" where they were just promoted them before.

I have seen many bounty campaigns that have been warned about scam but there are still many bounty hunters reporting their work hard, or they are bots or they just know how to work as a machine and do not need to update to attend project

that's true. it happened since past. once the same thing happened with sapien project. After the bounty campaign project team reduce the token allocation and launched bounty campaign phase 2. I can't remember the reason. But after that bounty hunters send scam alert. but all of them support the project before it happened. Actually, all of the bounty hunters need to learn how to find a good project and read all of the details carefully they posted. If there will be a topic about it will be good for the all of bounty hunters.

That is why hunters only want to get tokens or prizes that I think will make it difficult for new investors. Well  research is very important to attract investors and for trust as well, if its not examined it will only lead investors to enter the water hole. If you see some odd projects you can tell other investors, So that investors can also be prevented from fraud.

i do not want to look like we are degrading the level of education here but its reality that some bounty hunters do not even write fluently in english
so i guess the comprehension as well is quite different from the others... sad to say this but its true.

It is because they are just joining for the sake of being or having a huge chance that they are able to make a successful bounty, and for me for example if there are some social media campaign most of the hunters will join it because they can apply for many social media campaign unlike signature campaign, that is why they are not scanning it first before joining.

You have a point, many bounty hunters are to be blamed for their actions ,to read and do research on bounties before promoting has turned into a very hard task for them and when the project turned scam they start complaining.

Very nice topic indeed this is. I also find bounty hunters having heard mentality. Most of all bounty hunters are bots which get enrolled in bounty campaigns by a single person.

Oh well, it's a numbers game for most of these hunters nowadays. I am no longer surprised if most of them do not read the entire whitepaper since most of them do not read all the bounty rules :D A lot of today's hunters prefer typing long messages/questions on telegram rather than spending time reading.

When bounty hunters come here for the purpose of making money without any knowledge about it will definitely make them to be not aware of which bounty to choose from and they can learn it from their experience of without getting any profits from promoted project.

They are behaving like they are under a spell, I don't want to name the bounty project and there are even members and full members on the spreadsheet too ,I'm still confused and I'm wondering what is happening ,we are not in 2017 where you can just join and promote any project which will surely brings profit but this is 2019  ???

These bots are not giving chances for normal people to earn in bounty campaigns. if you find such accounts you need to inform the bounty manager

This isn’t entirely a bounty hunter fault

Lately, I have realized that researching about a project is not all
You need to research about their ieo, the exchange to be used and also research probability of success

I can tell you boldly, there are certain exchanges that when used for ieo; the trading will always dump 100x below ieo price

Be smart and ensure to learn from past mistakes

according to what I observe, they will continue to promote and indulge in what they do, they only focus on bounty allocations, leeway regulations and convenience.

bounty hunters should do research and analysis on the ico project, but for now there is an IEO that at least makes it one of the most convincing projects for hunters. even though you have to do research but there is a high probability of success

I do agree that every bounty campaign participant needs to study the project and team before promoting it but the thing is that you do not know the intentions of the people behind the project especially in the last 1 to 2 years we have seen even good looking projects ending up as scams just have a look at Athero it was a shocking scam for thousands of bounty participants.

indeed, I see now is very different because the current project is more than before, before many hunters who did research to take part in the current project hunters have changed and are not concerned with the due dilligence and humor when the project is scam or fail they blame it even though this can be prevented if they do due diligence

absolutely yes.
most of them. but why ?
the logic reason its because the manager also same like bounty hunter.
and the good manager have a difficult rules for bounty hunter, and the worst manager have a simple rules.

Well for sure they are not reading the useful articles and guides here in the forum, right? because they are still promoting them for their scam projects. I do believe in just a matter of time those bounty hunters that didn't know the agenda and the modus of those scammers will be enlightened someday and they will be like many of us here that are still doing research before they actually join and invest on it.
I suggest that reading here and reviewing such a project will be taught them so much help and give them knowledge.

Upon all the warnings from members about fake and scam projects many are still promoting them ,its a shame of bounty hunters that promote scam projects ,it shows how lazy they are and they want some good rewards without doing research on what they are about to waste time and energy on .

There are so many bounty hunters in this forum and yet they are not all grown up.
Theres a lot of them who are looking on the budget of the campaign and not on the team and project.
This is why many people ended up nothing after of long advertisement they did.

Yes, I fully agree with you. Now there is a very good opportunity to make money on bounty programs. But most people in our community prefer quantity over quality. Therefore, you can see such a large number of fraudulent projects. Developers are used to that any project can be raspiarit and use it to deceive people.

Yes, you nailed it.
Some hunters get enticed with juicy payouts without actually digging deep to research about the project. All they are interested in is how to maximise their stakes.
But looking at it from another angle, there are projects that were flagged scam but they ended up enriching these hunters.
Sometimes you might never know.....

I agree with you on the part where bounty hunters usually are the ones responsible for their own failures when it comes to not cheeking the project and their team and whether it is good or not, before promoting it, but the part where developers don't have past experience or past histories with other project does not determine the faith of the project, new ones could have potential and they might just need a chance, but of course among the team there has to be someone who has a knowledge about the project that they are in, and bounty hunters only care about getting paid and don't care whether the project is good or not because as soon as they get their coin they directly exchange it.

its one of the problem here some people dont always do a research about the project but even some do research there no such thing as accurate
some of them was just being lure by high rewards and turning a blind eye but you cant blame other people by getting tempted in the bounty with high rewards. they have their own perspective but if you see something wrong its better to just tell them maybe they didnt know what you discover.

i dont think any bounty hunter bother to read about projects tbh :D, and yeah they deserve what happens to them..

Indeed, although you got the main point, but on the side of a bounty hunter and being a bounty hunter, the many projects you are promoting, the better, BUT based on my experience for how many years of doing it, the good bounty promoted that i had in the end they became a scam or a dead project, but those bounty bounty that are shitty had the best token value, we could judge everything during the bounty promotion, because this is based on my experienced.

The main point here is to makemoney with help of advertising campaigns,so don't expect a big research by the bounty hunters. The consequences may change the route of the bounty hunting principles but main point is to get a BTC.

Yeah, some bounty hunters don't carry out research on project before promoting them. Some don't even bother themselves about the reward they get from promoting an ICO project. I came across a bounty some months ago which promise to give bounty hunters $1200 in all campaigns, to my surprise the spreadsheet got filled up in not time and they end up with $3 reward from 5 weeks of promotion campaign.

You're right. Many bounty hunters just keep following various Scam projects and spread the word about them. This is very bad for them, and for the rest of the people who believe in such a project.

That is the honest truth, we bounty hunters are found of wasting our time and resources promoting worse projects with no future and we keep doing it over and over. We keep doing it only because we are lazy and do not research thoroughly on any project, the team behind it, how their support team responds are how the manage their social media platforms. The only way we can stop promoting worse projects is by research.

Exactly mate but the hurting as being bounty hunter sometimes the project they promote is successful but the devs didn't give the rewards of the hunter after they giving hard work and time effort to promote.



You had point but even experience bounty hunter are also victim of scam project not becauhe didn't learn well or investigate well, sometimes the fake project they make very believable whitepapers and projects. So I think as bounty hunter is part get faiked.

Agreed, most of the bounty hunters out of 100% I think 80% of it don't know how to apply the proper procedures in doing research on project before joining in it. That's why most of the scammers are having the opportunity to create more projects because of this bounty hunters, were they are promoting the wrong projects were their effort always turn into nothing and wasted.

yes, I am also aware of that, I also rarely do research on projects that I follow. I only glimpsed from the whitepapper, and then saw a positive member response, I also believed that the project would be successful.

Actually I do bounties but I check the team and website first before joining. But it happened on I was banned for joining a scam campaign which I didn't now because at first look the project really looks legit. I advice you do real research before joining bounties.

I'm guilty. I'm one of those who actually joined a campaign that were the worse of all. The kind of project where to team didn't answer anything being asked and as expected its a scam. I don't know why i did promote them in signature but they first answer and their profile in their website looks very real with linkedin pages.

Only very late to find out someone had searched thrm carefully and found the WP is plagarized.

Most bounty hunters don't think about the project they promote. Their focus is the bounty allocation of that project. They support those kind of projects not knowing who's the team behind it or even the use case of it. They don't even know if their roadmap is good. Their main goal is to earn money, and I think that's what bounty hunters really do but supporting some scam projects is just a wast of time and won't give them decent money for the duration they support it.

Most bounty hunters don't mind if the projects they are promoting are scams as long as they will earn something from it but in the process they would end up receiving nothing as the project failed to launch. Doing research is good but it just take a lot of time for someone to know how good or bad the project is.

The main goal of the bounty hunters is to get money and not to research and invest.

They don't fucking care if the project they are promoting is a scam. What is important to them is that at the end of the day, they will be paid. This is the reason why many bounty hunters are getting scammed. I stopped bounty hunting already because for me it is a waste of time for me. Few campaigns are paying and even though they are paying, the chances of listing on an exchange is low.

And I am one of those when I satarted joing bounty campaigns. When I was just new to this forum, I just don't know what to do so I ask my friends how to join bounty campaigns. There I joined any projects after projects without doing any research and fall into those shit ones.

Some of them are probably still new and some of them are probably just focusing on just earning money and thinking that every bounty will give them something like $800. We can't blame to be honest. But I hope these bounty hunters will learn and give their attention to the projects that deserve their attention.

maybe you are right
but, joining the bounty campaign is just like a speculations my friend
sometimes if we tought the project was good, with great team inside but when the project hit an exchange the price down hard
so, there is no guarantee  ;)

And sometimes we still feel like its a scam when the token price just take a nose dive down to -300%. This is what always happen specially if the team plans to distribute the bounty tokens in months after the listing on the exchange. Its really that harsh now compare to what it was before 2018. They just can't make those bounty hunters millionaires after a year of working easy because they own a high rank account in the forum.

This is the primary thing that's what the reason on the first place for you to do bounty hunting which on seeking out money but

people do miss out the important thing which is to find the legit project it actually sounds easy but spotting them out is really hard due to lots
of projects in the market.

The point here is that a lot of bounty hunters are damn lazy. They do not really take a careful look at the project's credentials before jumping into its promotion. Whitepapers are very important for any project. If one does not at least browse over it, one is like gambling. The risk is very high. It is 50:50, getting paid or not, scammed or not. At the end of the day, efforts are wasted. And worse, your effort might have successfully attracted an investor or two into a scam project, running away with their money.

Many bounty hunters are lazy and just want to participate as many bounty campaigns they like without even reading anything about the project, then in the end they will just realized that they wasted so much effort and time because the project is fake since the beginning.

Yes that is true have many bounty hunter their take promoting scam project and this is what they know about the condition. After scrubbing scam too much that project needs to be stopped but it depends only on the basis of bounty hunter. Therefore, you need to good research about project before anyone bounty.

Many still find it hard to read ,they believe that reading is a waste of time ,even on telegram groups many members will we asking same questions over and over again while the answer is already on the pinned message ,the problem is people find it hard to read

I agree with this, I believe most of the bounty hunters did not do a research, they join whenever the reward is attractive and reputation of the team is just their last priority. Mostly the campaign manager are the ones who do the research, so if the bounty manager is not reputable, bounty hunters also are hesitant to join.

Experienced bounty hunters will choose good prizes, I see there are projects that look bad and have the same ideas but are successful, it is very difficult to see new projects that have great teams, but I always do research before joining to see good gifts. because many prizes run more than 3 months but eventually fail

I also do that because I think that's a very important point to know. but now such a simple research method seems ineffective to do because fraudulent projects also update their ways to look genuine.

Yes, people won't bother about the research that's why many people will join under best bounty managers. They will bother much about the once they campaign to get into a scam. So always try to do your best before working for any campaign, research is always a good part even for investing in trading.

The simple way to know the project legit is the bounty manager itself, I never heard the best bounty campaign on this forum such as yahoo, Hhampuz, julerz, decode hold a scam project. Because they will know to differentiate the project scam and the legit scam so there is no doubt if you joined with bounty campaign that hold with them.

The managers you mentioned do really study the bounty first before accepting it. Or in the case that it is being called a scam, they will simply stop the bounty. Sadly, though there are are lots of bounty managers who didn't do that and at the same time, bounty hunters will easily bite on those bounties specially if the supposedly ICO price is good in papers.

Yes  .  there are some established managers that bites on a scam bounties even though they already knew that it was a scam because the offer is way too promising that they would risk their career for the pot money   . this is why the last decision will still go to ours and not a manager  .

we must still do our own research as much as we can just to ensure that we wont get scammed  but bounties isnt about scams because there were also bounties that are legit but the problem is that they cannot get thier desired qouta of investors so they will end up postponed  .

Bounty hunters should do due diligence, they can start in the scam sections there are tools that people can use to check if the project is indeed legit, but sometimes there are projects that look really good, all the criteria to make it a good project are all there but unfortunately this did not stop them from scamming investors and bounty hunters.

the name you mentioned is the manager who still exists until now, they still manage the bounty campaign very well even now I'm a participant in one of the names you mentioned earlier.

most of us choose campaigns from managers who promote the project. I also did that, but I will not immediately join because I have to see the project with real products.
even some of the managers mentioned are those who hold projects with BTC payments.

Some of the most ambitious hunters are easily tempted by large prizes from proye projects,without careful consideration by checking the whitepaper and team on the project,not many of them suffered losses because the project was scam because it was fooled by a big prize,It is clear to us hunters to be more careful in choosing projects to follow

Maybe because these bounty hunters are also run by almost same person and sometimes managers also accused of having own alt accounts in their own bounty campaign.
So basically they are part of those scam and shit projects,no on in his bright mind will participate in such unless they are stupid and non educated person who’s just joining anything that comes their way

even now I don't see any projects that pay dearly for their bounty participants. it seems like now the bounty hunter is also having trouble finding a really good project, everything is speculation in my opinion.

You hit the nail in the coffin dude, I don't want to generalise, but majority of the members here who joined bounty are suckered by the projects, luring them with the promise of a good bounty pay. But then they are totally disappointed when the projects pulls an exit scam, when all the the signs that this project is not to be trusted, still they join and now later they will complain and bitch around. But if you look closely, if just for 5 minutes they do some research around the community, then they could have save a lot of effort and time.

Because new bounty hunters only aim on what rewards they can get after the bounty ends. They are not giving enough time to research about the project and only thinks about the rewards.

This is something I agree, most of the bounty hunters only see the allocation of the fund and enter all the project that they could, they just hope they get lucky, it's really seldom to see bounty hunters understand what they are promoting, but to be honest, even if they do their research its still hard to predict the result, as we know most of the project end up with failure

Yes, it is true. Many bounty hunters make mistakes, their join the campaign without researching the project. And many bounty hunter do a lot of stupid work by following many bounties and make a spam in a forum and their social media.

I am hearing about this bots for the first time and I think if that exists it will be very difficult for them to do the promo like normal  human beings can do. It also means that bounty hunter are also manipulating bounty campaign too. We have many project that was promoted here and end as scam and that is the reasons I adopted the Idea in the op.

For signature bounty, I always do thorough research. However for others, I don't. Even after done research, most projects cheat. Nothing can be done to prevent this unless the rule should come which makes projects to make payment by the end of every week.

If we looked back in 2017-2018, bounty hunters could do that easily because almost all projects after the ICO can get success and make the bounty hunters can make money. But if we compare with the situations now, they cannot get the same result as we know that the bounty campaign is hard to get success and that makes the bounty hunters need to research on the project.

You can't blame them. Most of the bounty hunters are promoting worthless projects just for the sake of the stake or the reward tokens they will have to receive. It is all because of the money they will get from  promoting the said projects. It is not important if that certain project has a copied whitepaper or unfeasible and has impossible product. I really hope their efforts will not go to waste as we all know most of the bounty projects isn't paying at all.

the desire to just join a bounty is what makes most bounties hunters to just join a bounty without doing a proper research before joining,  it's good to always do research about a bounty  project and the project manager before applying for such bounty

that's really true bro. but there are still many of them doing research before joining the project. because I myself always have the principle that if we join a project without any research, we will commit suicide. because we have sacrificed time and energy mind bro

Not only bounty huntings ,in what so ever we are doing we should always be willing to learn more so that we can have knowledge in what we are doing ,knowledge is power don't be a flock without no Shepard.

You won't  believe this, but not only bounty hunters but investors as well, are not doing any kind of research before taking part in another project. They  just want to make profit and blindly investing in trash ICOs.

I think most of the things happening in crypto currency world are happening because FOMO effect. Investors, bounty hunters %90 percent of them doing no research. Just following the other people and hope to get paid or get returns.

You also need to know that it's actually not just a project that has a lot of scams but many hunters also do scams. Such bounty hunters usually spam all your bounty projects, they register carelessly and make projects as bets, they assume that among all the projects they follow, one of them is legit.

Of course some bounty hunters read Whitepaper, evaluate the idea of the project, based on their experience but many of them rely simply on their intuition and luck. It is possible that most of the bounty hunters choose projects at random.

I personally met a man who constantly monitors the entire situation on the bounty market, and he studies the projects thoroughly before starting to promote them. I just follow his actions, and then decide about my participation in the project.

Not all bounty hunters are reward-oriented and follow without do a research to the projects they follow are legit or not. because the users who always do a research before joining campaign are not oriented to the reward value but the success of the project.

That's a clear problem because all we know that joining in every bounty is need a good and enough knowledge before you invest your time and effort to make it successful bounty make sure that you know the history and make sure that you know what you are promoting.

Those are very wise as they are not after for quick reply profits but for the long term benefits that the project will bring them after the project being released, though there's a lots of bounty hunters who are not paying attention with this and always aiming for quick benefits and in the end of the projects most of them get nothing.

Do your research and make good assessment with every projects that you'll going to support and invest your time.

If investors have problem to choose a good ICO to invest, then bounty participants do not have even such skills to find profitable bounty campaign.  And I am not talking about how many times the bounty campaigns that were successful did not want to send bounty tokens because they were afraid of dump.  :'(

I'm thinking. that most of the participants in this project are bots and they will not complain.) The bounty hunters have become smarter and they are studying projects.

That's true. Not all bounty hunters do research on projects due to their laziness. Sometimes they follow the hype of people and this prevents them from further research which is bad. A bounty hunter must be smart.

What kind of research do they do? They look at the market cap, they look at the tokenomics, they maybe look at the team and the advisors especially. But seriously, how many do their real research? Like, do they take apart the whitepaper and see if the market research is really true? Did they see if the team and devs really are capable? I doubt it. I admit even I didn't go that deep into my first ICOs, what more bounty hunters?

Indeed, sometimes laziness leads to the fact that you lose time and your money is best to lose a few hours or days to check than to lose days and money.  Also, do not trust strangers who advise very strange things.  you need to trust only yourself.

I think not at all bounty hunter doing like that, i am a bounty hunter and i always doing research first.
If that project have a lauched product and have a good whitepaper with progress funding in their website, that is will i promote.

Well I think most of the bounty hunters don't care to do the research if the pool is good enough and they have a good chance of getting out a good percentage of tokens out of it if they plan to participate right from the start.

But the most important thing they forget is that the token price is estimated and not actual.

More reasons why many bounty hunters fell for scam project for promotion is their inability to carryout their own research before embarking on promotion. Last two years ago, I had to promote many bounty without pre_knowledge of the project and at the end got nothing from those campaigns and I regret be part of those campaigns. But now, I prefer to participates on signature campaign than Bounty hunting.

hmm ... I think you are right, as a participant indeed we only take part directly in promoting their projects not to find out more. it is true that not all participants do research because it wastes too much time.

People want money so they get lured into the project where the bounty mentioned is huge so they think that they can make lot of money but if it is not a good project the value mentioned will not be same when it hit that exchanges.

Even how tough reader you are, it's not 100% assurance for every bounty hunters to be part of the perfect and successful project. I would base the ideas on how the final destination, of a certain coin to withstand after it has been introduced to the market exchanges.

Most at times I think of most bounty hunters as not and not really humans because, those account or accounts still promote scam projects even though they are been spotted out as scam project. Even though those accounts are not bots, I strongly believe that they are those individuals who can't read or who aren't ready to read but to get the quick Money from the forum.

It seems to me that it is not always necessary to analyze the project because I have a lot of friends who use this project. I do not consider it necessary to analyze it because I know what it already uses. So the analysis has nothing to do with it.

And that's why most of them fall in to lose and scam projects. It's advisable to always make deep research on a project before jumping into it, to avoid unnecessary complain after.

yes i guess because some of them are to lazy to do research, and some just use link update thread for bounty, it show recent bounty update everyay without research owner just put it on spreadsheet, and the last their just follow project from their friend share.

there can be different motivations for bounty hunters....just making quick profit, beside the project that is supported or thex believe in their supported project and wanna support it with their bounty...look for $DeVault, if been not supporting a single project with my signature for more than 2 years, but this little gem has captured my motivation. 100% community governance is very seldom in these crypto days but is worth a try!

Project team is about the most critical aspect of the project. Expertise, Integrity and experience are the key factors to consider when analysing a project. If a project falls short of these, it is difficult to have a successful project.I have seem adverts of people writing whitepaper, so I dont take every word too seriously

The rate at which bounty hunters waste so much effort and time doing or promoting fake projects has to come to an end. This is a call for Hunters to wake up and start doing research before promoting projects, most especially, they should find out the team backing the project before going ahead.

Sometimes gift hunters don't know what to look for before joining a gift, this is just like me who doesn't know what to look for when I want to join a project and don't know what to look for before joining this project,  I want to ask for tips on how to choose a good project

this is not only related to bounty hunters... so called crypto influencer promoting nearly every shit when they get paid for it, too... they are also a reason that the scam industry make still some dollars.   :( there are still enough people who trust them and invest in shit

Yes its true. Most bounty hunters are actually do not care about the project at all. They just like to earn easy money. Its nothing for them whether the project succeed or not. In return, most of them are being scammed and that is mostly their fault. Also, they always dump their tokens after they recieved it thats why they get a very little amount of money for their work.

because it's really difficult to disappear such a project. What can a bounty hunter do? we all can only add to our skills and choose the best project that will pay us. maybe that's all we can do.

But when they are getting fooled by scam projects and so many of them always created so many thread about their complaints. That's why they must educate their selves about that and i hope that they can start to stop to create more complain thread about that.

In problems like this, bounty hunters must look and read more carefully about a project that will be followed. Whitepaper of a project is very necessary to read, so as not to experience anything disappointing at the end of the campaign. I am sure, that bounty hunters are greatly helped by each post like this in this forum.

The importance of doing a simple and quick google search is very important if you don't want to waste your time promoting such useless ICOs for a month out there. Although even if the project is so promising it's still not enough to consider as a good project, that's why most ICO these days aren't really that profitable at the end.

I'm not surprised about all this ,there is one thing i am so sure of about bounties ,real bounties always have lower allocation e.g 40k to 80k dollars, all the scam projects allocation are over millions of dollars just to attract bounty hunters

This is true and it's is applicable to most areas in crypto space, trading for example . 
It's better to do the research yourself and not rely too much on anyone. Back then I tried most project recommended by other members, thinking they were thoroughly researched.  I gave up on most when I noticed they were promoting almost the same thing with poorly written whitepapers.

It's really heard to explore a project from all side. Applicants are taking just chance.. crypto is like a chance .it may success or may not.

what you are talking about is a game in a casino, but cryptocurrency and bounty campaigns it is a very serious analysis and only by doing a quality analysis you can earn money

Explore the bounty of the projects must be very carefully, there are a lot of scams on the cryptocurrency market today, only a good study of the project and the team will help you to protect yourself

A lot of bounty hunter don't care about that, they join it all with the purpose of earning money with the possibility. Such blind participation makes some negative trust accounts

I agree with you and that should be address to all Bounty Hunter especially for those who join the bounty campaign without doing any research or investigation on their end. Scammers like that and we should not tolerate it. As a bounty hunter, we should also help our fellow bounty hunters on how they can identify those scam projects.

With bounties even after hard analysis users will be left empty handed without rewards. There are people who have got turned to be millionaires through bounty rewards. It is all about luck and the way one studies the market. 2017 was the best for bounties, tokens that went high as $15 was worth $0.1 now. It was like a bubble, and the one who made use of the opportunity were successful making big earning.

This is really a big job to do or some pointless thing to be done.Why? people wont ever listen and even if they do listen out

choosing the best project isn't really an easy job even how pro you are on bounty hunting you would still eventually cant avoid to
jump or promote scammy projects.

all depends on yourself or the bounty hunter, all bounties must be scrutinized before following the bounty. research is very important before joining the bounty. I always research the team, whitepaper, ANN and their website before joining the bounty. The bounty hunter who does not do the research is a bounty hunter who is a sham.

i appreciate to bounty hunter that research their campaign first. its good to promote right ico than you promote scam one. profitable for that ico and all particupant. im sure scam ico never appear as often. it can make better and decrease bad news about bitcoin's scam

For many bounty hunters, the most important thing is listing on the market or exchanger, so they can sell it. I think all bounty hunters do research on projects that will be done but sometimes the research they do is not like their analysis and many end up in scams

Not everyone has the same level of expertise to differentiate between a scam and legit project.
As you stated, most of the scam projects are easy to recognize and when we do, we need to spread our findings through the announcement of the project or create a separate thread to list recognized scams.

Not all are good when if comes to doing research on projects ,there are few keys one have to look out for or you might end up choosing wrongly ,its a matter of experience

yes you are right, this happened because they were reluctant to research further about the project, what they saw was only the amount of funds allocated to be distributed for bounty hunters, and maybe they were lazy to try to open the project website to see how the project worked , there are some projects even copy and paste the whitepaper from other projects, and the bounty hunter is not aware of that.

there are so many fraudsters who are great at conducting ICOs that they sometimes even use photos of professional teams that make many people including investors and bounty hunters fooled.

I agree with you, some of the bounty hunters do not know or uses tools to find out if the project that they are promoting is scam or not, and worse of all they do not even drop to the announcement thread or the scam section if there are alerts if the project is a scam, they just keep reporting and don't care at all.

It is not so simple to do proper research. And sometimes professionnal look like bounty campagin can become dead or scam. Look for example a Envion ICO. Nobody did expect this after several months after the ICO. Doing proper research can protect you a little, but it is not 100 percent guarantee.

They have to change them mind purpose when joining bounty, it's all isn't about money when they thing cryptocurrency as technology for future and keep it for not sell it when already distribution.

I agree with you, it's true that many bounty hunters who participate to promote project and only participate without reading the whitepaper or rather without doing research first. Maybe they are beginners, so they don't know what to do to find a good project so they can make a profit later, so they just join and promote the project without knowing what project they are promoting. So doing research first is very necessary so that you don't waste time promoting bad projects.

Indeed, many bounty hunters do not want to analyze projects and they take part in very dubious projects, some of which are organized by fraudsters. I see no reason to participate in such projects and I do not know why other people take part in them.

I agree with what you have said here in your post but of course not all of the bounty hunters are like that.. As for me I don't really do reading or researching about the campaign I joined in but I have these few friends who has this habit of scrutinizing thoroughly the project they would participate as a bounty hunter and I truly rely with them often. Of course it just very right to check and make sure that the project you would promote is legit because all your work will just get wasted if it just suddenly vanish in thin air.

But how to make them change that way of thinking, because in their heads they only work to make money and not have any other purpose.

true talk pal. many bounty hunters wish and hope they never promote any worse or scam projects but still have not changed their mindset of not willing to learn or research on a particular project before wasting time to promote it. Until hunters start learning and researching, they will still promote scam projects and waste precious time.

Sometimes this occurs when bounty hunters are from non-English speaking parts of the world. They easily fall for scams due to their inability to comprehend the wordings in the white papers of this scam projects. Besides some projects just fail even with top notch white paper eg velix ID etc. So doing bounties most times is a game of luck.

If the smart people became victims of scam, worst or ugly projects then how much more if some people will not do the research first like these hunters. Hunters should always be vigilant too in joining a project to promote as their effort and hard work are also considered as their investment that should not be in vain just because of an ugly or scam projects.

doing research is quite a lot of time to do and that is one of the causes of the many bounty participants not doing it and I think it becomes reasonable, should be able to publish a project in this forum need strict regulation.

People get lazy when it comes to researching investors inclusive. On the other hand, most times no there's no knowing which is scam and which isn't some fake teams are good at looking real to get investors money and trust.

But research is very important if you're bounty hunting. If you just join a project without knowing the background of it your time might go into waste in the end. When I was still bounty hunting, I would research all about it just for that whole day. After that ICO it gived me some decent amount of tokens I sold for bitcoin.

Because most of them has no care what’s the outcome of each project what’s important for them is participating,spamming and collect the bounty other than that they have no care,and the worst thing?they don’t even know how to read and understand white paper so how would they spent even a minute checking the project?

It is always required to do rigorous research before participating in bounty campaigns for any project. It is also recommended before investing in any project.
I have found that many bounty hunters do not research and read whitepaper or any other documents featuring the goals of a project. We must research beforehand.

I really agree as you say ... there are lots of bounty hunters who complain about the results of the campaign they did 2 - 3 months. because before they took part in a particular project, in my opinion that they did not carry out detailed research ... such as the TEAM they have and the Whitepaper and roadmap that is certain ... and what is important for me is the bounty manager who has managed many projects ..

Prize hunters always blame the paid manager because the prize fails and ends with fraud, but they forget to do the research first.
before starting to join the Bounty Campaign, it is strongly recommended to do research first.
if we can analyze a project then we will not get project fraud.

I am more than confident that practically most of all bounty companies are alike in their quality.  What research do not conduct, all the same result will be the same.  Of course there may be exceptions, because fraudsters are already beginning to become impudent and are trying to easily access the resources of Bounty Hunters such as Ethereum Bazis.

of course not, because few of bounty hunter just participated and do the task in campaign.
few of them are too lazy for make research and filter where good project and bad project, because research itself it's too difficult for newcomer in bounty campaign

doing the research was too much of a process as participants in their bounty campaigns only doing tasks according to project orders and waiting for payment, this was quite reasonable.

Not every person can perform reasonable research. Usually, bad or scam projects have nice looking websites where you can see the team and whitepaper. There are some groups of people in darknet, who can run a fake ico for you. In this case, the bounty hunter is not defended against scammers. 

scam projects was difficult to identified now.they have similarity with real projects and maybe there is no differences.even real projects could be scam projects while they leave projects after listed in market.i think bounty hunter also do the best effort to avoid scam projects.

The reason why bounty hunters didn't research too much because of mindset of getting bounty tokens not as serious as an investor. Most investors were those applying research before having an engagement, and they should be more digging up in order to have assurance for a certain project to avoid being scammed.

yes most bounty hunters don't care about that and always promote fraud projects. in plain view it was stated that there was a warning {SCAM} but there were still many who joined and promoted them and this is what needs to be considered

This no guar in this space, I have been through that tedious research process before joining bounty but it happens that even the ones that I least expect payments from where the ones that eventually turned out to be rewarding. The are basic details that I consider before participating, no more a lot of rigorous research

Bounty Hunters continue to promote worse projects and trust me they will not stop promoting such projects because they are not willing to learn anything new just the previous knowledge they have already acquired. Instead of researching more on projects before they promote, they just jump in to promote when they start seeing huge allocations.

80% of bounty hunters do not make research and its really so unfortunate cos they just do campaigns cos others are doing ans can't tell a thing about the project they are campaigning for. And that's why most of this projects takes advantage of them

I agree with you!

If research was the first thing we all did before joining a bounty campaign we might actually have a chance of not promoting or having scam projects in this ecosystem in the first place. But why does this happen, because we are desperate and have no time to do our due diligence which is being unfair to ourselves!

I think they have done research by looking at the team, and briefly reading the whitepaper and understanding the project concepts they want to develop, and usually when the bounty hunter has implemented it all does not guarantee the bounty campaign will succeed, usually there are still some problems that make the bounty hunter a little disappointed.

A bounty hunter should not blame anyone for joining a scam or unsuccessful project because it must be first understood that this is crypto and it is a free market. There are no set regulations to check scam or unfitting projects hence it is up to investors and bounty hunters to do personal researches in order to come up with the authenticity level and potentials of the coin before joining any activity of the project.

Investors need to choose the one that will be very profitable for them all while bounty participants are betting their efforts but remember about the social media participants can join various bounty and that's why majority of the don't care about that.

Yeah and that's why these garbage projects keeps coming up. Join worthy projects, do good to projects and to yourself.

I don't know, we don't know what every bounty hunter really thinks. they have their own criteria in choosing the projects they will follow.
like not participating in a gambling project, or a game platform. it's very normal, they have their own criteria. leave it to each other's decisions how they do research or just get rid of their luck.

I agree on this, mostly of bounty hunters didnt want to care to read in whitepaper, ann or webpage. Its very important to a project to be research before committing even on bounty hunting. If a project is a scam then its your fault not the project, as you know already that many scam project lurking in the market to wait for their victim.

this is very true and which is bad for hunters. I know many hunters who hop in to any bounty they see without making research or without looking back to see if the project still worth their time. I was once like that but have changed my mindset when I see what's happening around me

Joining and promoting project without confirming and proper investigation is very natural to those new on this forum, their priority is to earn profit and not sharing the benefits of using cryptocurrencies.

And sometimes, even they wanted to learn more about the project, which they wanted to promote, they easily beat by deluxe offer.

changes in rules and various kinds of things are very frequent, before deciding to invest in the ICO it is better to ask the Crypto Expert about whether the ICO you want to follow is good or not.

Every project has its own team composition, a white papers that an investor or a bounty hunter look first prior engaging but I think that is not guarantee to tell that the project is successful as its very ramphant now that there are many scam ICO and has very attractive profile at first glance to get our attention.

Why would you even bother, you're not part of the team? ??? Although investor doesn't just give their money to somebody, but atleast a proof that it will turn their money into something would be acceptable and convincing. Most of the companies have some good Introductions, aims, goals, etc... And whatsoever you call that things that they actually just a mere show just to get some money. And still they just turn into scams, such a waste of time studying and having a background check on the project's team members.

It really isn't necesasary to study all of the info made by them. Investment are just like putting our lives on the line when we're on the battlefield. So better just think of it rather than study.

Not just your time going for nothing, you can as well exit once you receive payout thereby missing out on future gains of such project. Research is important

Bounty hunters earn a little  now and to spend a lot of time on research projects not every bounty hunter wants. Most likely, they assess the overall prospects of the project based on their experience.

therefore, as a bounty hunter, you have to learn more about finding projects that can really get results later. I'm also upset if I get an old project but can't produce it, but I don't make it a burden and regret. maybe because I was not careful in taking the project or not analyzing it better beforehand. learning from experience and taking lessons from something that has happened is better.

Some bounty participants don't care about the project , they just try the luck ''just in case it pumps , then i will sell'' . Thats why there is so many bounty participants promoting so called ''shit / trash projects'' . Usually i just do Signature campaign and i always carefully choose which project to promote . Sometimes im wondering why projects with really good product  / usecase / communication with community and marketing drops in value really hard and trash projects got marketcap of millions ....

In this case we cannot blame the bounty hunter. Because the hunter rewards many people. That means, many people have their own rights and different perspectives. People here are of course good intentions, want to educate people not to participate in scam or unclear projects.

I think there are now few good quality bounty projects for bounties to advertise. And it's hard to determine which projects are potentially scam for non-professional bounty hunter. I think we should not be too strict about this issue. Bounty is a way to help investors with less money to earn extra income. And those who decide to spend money to buy a coin of a new project, they research very carefully when investing.

Some people you mention, maybe they are still living in the past of bounty, when projects always have very high success rates or they are just newbie and only have a certain understanding of bounty, that makes their choices similar to lottery. Most people who have experienced in the bounty, they will search for detailed information about the project before joining, which can be from analysis of individuals or from certain groups doing bounty because garbage has a high rate, if there are no certain facilities, participation only receives failure and garbage

Those who take anything from them have no experience, just rank here. I think no one pays attention to their progress. You should always listen to already experienced users, they have a general idea already.

There are projects with bounty I find very good, but they do not attract investors to achieve soft-cap. I always update information to know that if the project fails I will leave its bounty soon

One thing i can assure is that based on my experience this previous months is that there are good projects that i promoted, but in the end they abandoned the projects and abscond the money from the ICO, one example is that the ATHERO one, project is good, and i do also study their whitepaper, and ended that the team decided to abscond, leaving the investors in the angry mode, so the lesson is that whether the project is good or not, we could not justify by means of their whitepaper, it is still depends on the people managing the project .

Yes, it is true
but for now the bounty is no longer as promising as in the previous year. I think bounty hunters must try to do other things, for example investment or trade. and the most important thing is knowledge and experience

Yes this was true and maybe bounty hunters that doesn't read and research about what they join may have no improvement in joining bounty campaigns. Now only few projects that is genuine and trusted, so we should read project's whitepaper and.their sites and do research so that no regrets after the project is done.

Many bounty hunters just keep on joining the bounties without any research about the project and later most of them says they got scammed its their fault that they did not due diligence before joining. We are responsible for wrong selection of bounties and should not blame others. One should understand and learn which project to join or not. I also learn from my past mistakes. Experience teach us bitter lessons.

There are times most of the bounty hunters not doing research when they are participating and promoting the projects all they want is quick money and the result is scam project that they are joining most probably to the newbie bounty hunters.

That is true...most of bounty hunter is not research the project.
Then, Sometimes bounty hunter is get a scam project.

It's totally true, most of bounties don't care about the projects itself. They usually only find a bounty that have a big allocation for the bounty and not even check the project what is it and good or not.

If you check on bounties section, almost all bounties thread are crowded by people.

Probably yes, but others do!
It is a job of bounty hunter to filter all the project in altcoins thread. Some of them might be good but most of them failed. In this industry, you do not have to be a professional. You just need is to know the backgrounds of the project. However, even we conducted research, still we cannot avoid to be scammed or even deceived by manager.
What is research therefore?
Researching projects profoundly will make us more knowledgeable about what we are promoting. And also, in order for us to lessen the possibility to be scammed.

Most of them might be spamming the fb, twitter submission with bots doing their works, thats why it always be flooded with hundreds and thousands of them. I do at least verify on the surface about the roadmap, people and most importantly the product they do and how their ICO can succeed. It's a very bad idea wasting time on bounties which lousy reputation and ways to handle investor money.

Sometimes it's not about the whitepaper or what has been promised by the team, sometimes we know if the project will do well only after token sale.  Promoting any project you believe in by doing their bounty is OK, although you made a good point that it's cool to look critically at the project team, product and other relevant aspects before delving in so the end result doesn't disappoint you. 

I think this is a classic problem with bounty campaign hunters. It cannot be denied if there are indeed many bounty campaign hunters who do not carry out analysis and research on the projects they are following. Most of them only follow ratings from the number of bounty campaigns. As a wise bounty campaign hunter, we should be more selective in choosing a bounty campaign so that we get a good project that can provide the benefits that we expect. I prefer to do an analysis before joining a project than I have to be influenced by a rating or mere vague talk.

yes, seeing a whitepaper as a reference is a wrong way because in investing we need to do a lot of observation, even if we are active in social media, we must observe it.

I want to agree with you some kind of because I once fell a victim of scam projects too. What really happens is that majority of bounty hunters only take interest looking at how big a project is on the surface without any thorough investigation on the successful achievements of the team members previously. It is not all that glitters that is called gold. If we bounty hunters will not regret wasting our time and energy hunting for projects that can never be realistic, then we  must be ready to research well on projects before participating in them. We must intensively investigate to know more about the integrity of team members handling such projects and read their white paper as well.

Agree with your opinion.. So much bounty hunters still promoting ICO/crypto projects which didn't have verified team , didn't check whitepaper of that ICO/crypto projects (check plagiarism) because most of ICO/crypto projects are still little bit copy-paste from verifieD or successful ICO/crypto projects out there.
Also , bounty hunters (for now) just think of take profits than safety.. just see title of bounty thread like for example written on thread is 2$ for each token & 500k token allocation for bounty which that ICO/crypto projects is new released and for prices , we don't know what price will be on exchanges too right ?

As far as I know, a single social media account can participate on many bounty projects therefore hunters mostly will just followed the bounty by only reading the bounty rules. They likely to ignore the other important stuffs like the team behind the project, whitepapper and so on. Tbh, to read or analysis those stuffs will require time, which for hunters, means wasting of time. Hunters mostly prefer to participate on as many projects as they can instead of participate on few but good projects. I think that is why there are still many hunters in 'worse projects'.

Yes, it is true, many bounty hunters do not research on project before joining the bounties. Before joining any bounties, we need to read the whitepaper, check roadmap of the company and check dev team, advisors as well as check the rating of the project so that we can avoid scam projects.

I myself don't pay much attention to that. the first thing I saw was the manager who published the campaign. and after that I will see more specific projects.

Take it or leave it, as you lay your bed, so you lie on it. If a bounty hunter decides he will not do research on the projects he is participating in, then he should be ready for whatever the outcome might be.
If someone who does research on every project he is in for its bounty and still fall into scam sometimes, what will someone who doesn't encounter?

TC I would really like to hear from you based on what conclusions you decided to participate in Signature campaign of this particular project?

bounty hunters are only looking for a little profit from the results of the bounty campaign ... and the bounty hunters are only looking for luck when they start joining and working to promote projects through social media facebook, twitter, blog, youtube and others ... after work, they just hope the project can be successful and they can get paid for them ... even if they don't get paid then they will accept it ... because they think they don't have and put in capital but their time is wasted ... and they will continue working on the project others with the same hope and luck that must always be among the bounty hunters ...

It's mostly like that, and I think we can ban them from participating in any project. Maybe they are beginners who don't really understand how to choose a good project or not so they participate based on other people's suggestions or follow their close friends and maybe they also participate in the project just by looking at who the campaign manager is.

As a reward hunter, I practically have not any rights, like my fellow tribesmen, to defend myself when we do not receive remuneration for our work.  Recently, as before, I have carefully studied projects in which I am going to take part.  But the results have ceased to amaze me, because almost all the Bounty companies end in the same.  But I want to say one thing: even if the project was not fraudulent, the Bounty Hunters are always deceiving.  No one fulfills 100% of all those conditions that were announced at the very beginning of the bounty of the company.  To date, you can bring a lot of example, where the team, not the Bounty manager, deceived the Bounty Hunters.  As an example, such companies are 888token, MenaPay, Bitstaq.

first consideration of a bounty hunter is indeed a manager. especially for some managers who provide bitcoin and ethereum payments. they are always followed because they have certain payments every week.

based on my observations, most bounty hunters follow projects that are crowded with participants and don't care about the concept and purpose of the project without studying the project first.. this happens naturally because many believe that projects that are crowded with participants are projects that have been research more by many participants.

The choice of a bounty manager cannot be a major factor. a lot of successful campaigns were conducted by not very popular bounty managers

Agreed, and there are bounties that were conducted directly by the project team itself. Finding the right bounty is not a simple task now as we're getting to see more ad and more projects reaching the market with more similarities. In the past even the random pick of bounties gave a good return of rewards for the work done as the tokens peaked high at 2017.
